Hello All , I have a DTV visa , my kid is here and I’m thinking to put him on the DT as family , my question is does he have to leave Thailand to be added ? Cheers Michael
Answer summary
The user has a DTV visa and wants to know if their child can be added as a dependent without leaving Thailand. The responses indicate that the child needs their own visa and that any dependent visa must be applied for outside of Thailand. An alternative suggestion was made about considering an education visa if the child is of school age.

If he’s here as a 12 year old then I assume you’d think of sending him to a school.

If so why not get an education visa. That can be done in country.

Yes, he needs his own visa, he doesn't get added to yours.
